May 21, 2013 4 Comments

I spent the better part of the day last Thursday at the Small Biz EXPO in NYC. As with many trade shows, the experience was both overwhelming and exhilarating. So many people to meet, so many services to learn about, and new information to learn. In a lot of ways, attending a trade show isn’t… Continue Reading

Testimonials
Natalie is friendly, bright, and extremely knowledgeable about health and fitness. I enjoyed and was surprised at the uniqueness and thoroughness of the Springboard Session. Natalie helped me to dig deep into my true desires which has helped make my goals much more real and attainable. The fitness assessment was a lot of fun! A beautiful use of today’s technology to bring my own personal trainer into my home with me. Natalie was able to help me with proper alignment as she knew exactly what to say to get me to shift into the proper position for each movement. For someone like me who is not interested in going to a gym, this was perfect as it helped me build a do-able work out routine right in my home. This is going to be much more successful than wondering how I’m going to mimic all that gym equipment at home. Her suggestions were fantastic, and I’m all set and excited about my new fitness routine! Thank you Natalie!!!

I have been utlizing the exercises we did together and am off to get heavier weights after work today! It’s amazing in how short a time I’ve already seen an improvement in my muscle tone and flexibility. Having an awareness of my posture has really helped too, I think I was doing a lot of slouching at work! Thanks so much.

Natalie has been my Pilates Instructor for the past 7 years. Working with her has been a wonderful experience, physically and mentally. I began working with Natalie with the goal of toning and strengthening my body. Through our work, my body has gotten longer, stronger, and I have been able to alleviate knee and ankle pain from prior sports injuries.

Natalie is both knowledgable and intuitive and offers a creative, tailored approach that has worked wonderfully for me. Her flexibility and depth of knowledge was particularly noteworthy in the work we did during and after my pregnancy. She is always positive, encouraging, and a pleasure to work with.

When I began working with Natalie at a neighborhood Pilates studio over 6 years ago, we focused on creating a solid Pilates foundation – perfecting form, correcting years of alignment imbalances, challenging physical & mental boundaries and sharing a few laughs in the process. We also developed a trust during those years.

Like most folks, my schedule and goals have changed over the years and Natalie, the consummate learner and innovator, has accommodated this progression. From group training to personal training and now coaching, Natalie has been able to build on foundation we developed in the earlier years to create dynamic and thoughtfully structured programs that suit my evolving fitness and personal goals.

Her commitment to my success, intuitive sense of when to push me not letting me slack, and and depth and breadth of knowledge (nutrition, body mechanics, conditioning, etc) have kept me engaged, challenged, surprised and coming back for more.

There is only one real reason I have been working out consistently for the past eight years – Natalie. After so many years of working together, Natalie’s attention to detail and enthusiasm has never diminished. She holds me to a high standard, which motivates me and teaches me anew each session. Natalie is a born teacher and I have more than reaped the results.
